3rd-World justice at its finest! If you can't get a law that locks up child rapists for life through Senado Colombia/Cámara de Representantes Colombia, then assemble a crack-team of child abuse-police to track 's rapists down, charge them with a crime, and promptly let them go. That's the Colombian way!

It's hard for me to get worked up about Daneidy going to jail, mostly because her stupidity put her there.
But charging her with "terrorism" for smashing a TransMilenio station, while actual terrorists like that Andres Escobar – who shot indiscriminately at protesters with a pistol – still walk free? I mean, WTF Fiscalía General de la Nación Colombia?! The hypocrisy must be apparent even to you inept motherf**kers.

“When the Government of responds that the protests are just a bunch of leftists or that these are protesters inspired by events in other countries, or that Venezuelans are responsible… Please!

Colombia’s political class deserves the kind of reckoning we saw in Chile. And the ParoNacional movement – messy, chaotic and nebulous as it is – just might represent the best chance at achieving this.
Protesters must look beyond the 2022 poll if the change they seek has a fighting chance

The national strike, like Colombia itself, is riddled with contradictions. It needs to come to an end. But paradoxically, out of respect for those who have died, the strike also needs to keep on going.

“Some people, when they are arrested, shout out their name and ID and sometimes, we only have that information and photos or videos that protesters manage to get with their phones. This makes locating them very difficult.”
Eighty-four remain unaccounted for.

Deadly protests against President Iván Duque’s policies continue in Colombia’s capital city of Bogotá, which is still reeling from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite the rising need for paramedics and doctors, city officials are concerned about attacks on ambulances.
Gr**go think-tanks, chambers of commerce, and now out-of-touch media outlets falling all over themselves to have Iván Duque on to talk about rainbows and unicorns.
You'd think Americas Quarterly would know better, but apparently not.
On June 2, join us in conversation with the President of Colombia, who will discuss his country’s efforts to prevent Amazon deforestation.

It's a snapshot of a man who's lost touch with reality.
Thank you President Iván Duque for taking time out of your busy schedule of police repression and calling protesters terrorists, to field soft-ball questions and pat yourself on the back.

I've seen this video removed in some places, so here it is again. Watch 'encapuchados' – obviously aligned with the ESMAD/ Ejército Nacional de Colombia/ Policía Nacional de los Colombianos – attack a building.
Toward the end, an Esmad guy thinks "hey that looks fun" and *JOINS IN* the destruction.
"The lawmakers also call for a suspension of US direct assistance to Policía Nacional de los Colombianos, an end to US commercial sales of weapons, equipment, services, or training to ESMAD-Colombia; and a freeze on any grants or sales of riot or crowd control equipment to all Colombian public security forces, police, and special units until concrete and clear human rights benchmarks are established and met," states a letter signed by 55 US members of congress.

Duque is withdrawing the unpopular tax reforms. But will the protests continue, as many want them to? https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/colombias-president-withdraws-tax-reform-after-protests-2021-05-02/
Colombian President Ivan Duque said on Sunday he would withdraw a proposed tax reform after sometimes violent protests and widespread lawmaker opposition, though he insisted a reform is still necessary to ensure fiscal stability.
On the street when the cameras are on them, back in their offices the next day. This is nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt. What a fu***ng joke the Policía Nacional de los Colombianos are.
In the 240-day window they had, the criminally-inept Fiscalía General de la Nación Colombia didn't bother to investigate/charge the corrupt ex-La Guajira governor Oneida Pinto Pérez. So she walked out of prison a free woman today.
Pinto stole funding meant for starving children in her dept., many of whom would later die of malnutrition.
Pinto se había entregado en julio de 2020, tras estar prófuga un año. Es investigada por corrupción.

Watching Andrés Felipe Arias pretend to be credible, and getting sh*t on by his viewers... I mostly feel sorry for the prison guard who's got to stand there until he's done spewing his delusional nonsense. #colombia #corruptos #Condenado #corrupcion #CentroDemocratico #salvemoscolombia #ConociendoAArias
Cuando la Policía Nacional de los Colombianos ni la Fiscalía General de la Nación Colombia no hacen mierda a proteger la gente, la gente debe tomar la ley en sus propias manos. #ratas #muerte #Bogota #Colombia #paloterapia #rompevidrios
